SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property dam-
age, use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes,
and other sources of ignition.
•
Use only approved gasoline container.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running.

Never store the machine or fuel container
where there is an open flame, spark, or
pilot light such as on a water heater or
other appliances.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed with plastic liner.
Always place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle when filling.
•
Remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the

such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser

of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete. Do not
use a nozzle lock-open device.
